Mastercard
Introduction
At its core, Mastercard is a technology company built on a legacy of safety, security and trust. We’ve built and maintained a global network pre-dating the internet that supports billions of transactions and manages data at scale. We’ve opened up our API services to a much broader audience and made them simple and easy to integrate, applying the same rigor to security and performance as we’ve done for our network.
We approach product design with a developer-first mindset – our APIs are not just a function that gets bolted onto a service, but DNA that’s embedded into our products and services from the outset. Our APIs offer the ability to embed Mastercard’s technology into products and services – no matter the size – to scale innovation.
The Mastercard Developers platform was built for developers, by developers and it’s where we house all of our APIs for quick, easy access. We add two new APIs per month spanning payments, security, cyber intelligence and identity, cryptocurrencies and digital assets, loyalty and rewards, AI and machine learning, mixed reality and beyond.
Why nominated
The Mastercard Developers Platform is dedicated to excellence and improving developers experience worldwide. We prioritize API reference documentation, a clear customer journey, and easy to use tools, to help developers craft seamless experiences for their users. Our products are user-friendly, easy to implement solutions and cater to a wide audience.
The documentation for BinLookUp stands as a great example of world-class documentation found within the Mastercard Developers ecosystem. BinLookUp documentation provides users with a concise product overview, an intuitive quick-start guide, and a comprehensive video tutorial.
Diving deeper into the BinLookUp page, developers are greeted with well-defined use cases and diagrams identifying potential implementation strategies. Our authentication guides are clear and concise, while our checklists streamline the transition from development to production readiness. Add this to our transparent pricing details across different tiers, and we create an ecosystem where developers can easily access all pertinent information.
Furthering our quest to empower developers, we provide various practical resources such as auto-provisioned sandboxes, sample code, tutorials, testing instructions, FAQs, helper SDKs, and Postman Collections. This assortment of tools allows developers to bring their ideas to life.
Our dedication to delivering superior quality is not confined to BinLookUp. As an organization, we focus on having an API first mindset being embedded into the DNA across the product, tech and commercial teams. We’ve created a specific internal framework which involves us scoring every API across a large array of metrics including technical performance and product content, to ensure they are built to a high-quality.
